Hockey: Receive and score on the move

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Progression: put a player at the top of the circle with whom the players can play a wall pass or this player can act as a defender.

Receiving ball from the side and score:

Player 1 runs around the outside of the cones, accelerating at the turn and receiving the ball from the wide player. Then the player runs into the circle and takes a shot at goal.
Alternate sides. Players should return through the middle.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Right Wing - Cross and Shoot:

Setup the practice as shown.

The Right Wing starts with the ball and dribbles to the defenders penalty corner mark, commit the Goalkeeper and then pass to a player moving in to receive the ball in line with the right post.

The player on the move must time their run and run on an arc to hold space, with their left shoulder pointing at the goal.

Player moving to receive the ball can use a slap hit or flick to shoot.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking the circle:

Player 1 runs down the wing to then pass the ball backwards of square to player . He in turn gives the ball to player 3, who has run into the circle and then come out to receive the ball. Player 3 then plays a 1v1 with the defender.

Rotation 1 to 2, 2-3, 3-1.

Same down the right wing.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Far post goal:

The player on the left passes the ball into the path of the player on the right. When this player receives the ball they continue to run with with it before passing the ball to the player on the far post who then has shot on goal.

The player passing to the far post continues to run after their pass and takes up a new position by the right post.

The practice can now start again from the other side.
